[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1510415, member: 71075"] Not necessarily. I'm more than comfortable saying that my Nexus 4 is a significantly better phone than the iPhone. I'll happily defend that position as well. However, I don't think it's the "best" phone (and I certainly recognize its faults including the lack of LTE which, although it doesn't bother me since I don't need blazing fast speeds to read the news, I do wonder why it isn't enabled since the hardware is there) since I realize that everyone has different needs or preferences. And this goes back to my earlier point - there is no one phone is categorically better than another. Cost, environment and needs all factor into a decision and since those factors are different for everyone, you get different preferences. Quiet rude? Is that a new form of passive aggression? :P I'm not sure the argument around the iPhone looking old has to do with hardware. In terms of actual hardware under the hood, Apple's done a commendable job. The phone has plenty of memory and the processor is more than suitable for the job (as I've made clear in other threads, this race to cram as many processing cores into a phone is ridiculous). Rather, I think it is a software issue which doesn't factor into contracts at all (mostly since I realize that at some point, software cut offs also become an issue). [/QUOTE]
